HUNGARY BUYS BACK SILVER FROM BRITISH MYSTERY TWINS - 20 MILLION DOLLARS TO BRING IT HOME

RUETERS- HUNGARY BUYS BACK ROMAN FAMILY SILVER  By Marton Dunai and Gergely Szakacs


EXCERPT:
The seven decorated pitchers, platters and bowls were half the original 4th-5th century "Seuso treasure" and cost 15 million euros ($20.67 million) to buy, he said as they were put on display in the parliament building in Budapest.

Hungary says the objects were dug up near Lake Balaton in western Hungary during the communist period, smuggled to the West and not seen in public until a 1990 auction in New York that failed because of a dispute over where they were found.
Budapest has always claimed the treasure as its own.

ZSA ZSA, whose age has been kept mysterious by her, reportedly spent her birthday at home after another 5 days in the hospital.  Serenaded by her friend Englebert Humperdink,  contrary to rumors that she could not even recognize her own husband anymore, there was a party for a few.

We know we all gotta go sometime and Zsa Zsa has lived a life rich with experiences and people, but perhaps what the story of Zsa Zsa and her hip replacement gone wrong is that she has the famous Hungarian spirit... NEVER GIVE UP!
